Hi,

Tender breasts, heavy periods, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations:
* Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances can cause changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, breast tenderness, and abdominal pain. This can occur due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.
* Fibroids or polyps: Uterine fibroids or polyps can cause heavy bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. They are non-cancerous growths within or at the uterus.
* Endometriosis: Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, causing painful periods, lower abdominal pain, and infertility.
* Infection: Infections of the reproductive system, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), can cause abdominal pain, heavy periods, and fever.
* Plan B pill: The Plan B pill can cause changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, including heavy bleeding, spotting, and irregular bleeding.

It is important to see a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of these symptoms. A physical exam, pelvic exams, and additional testing, such as ultrasound or blood tests, may be necessary.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
